gun cleaning kit recommendations needed

[gaseousclay]

can anyone recommend a decent all around gun cleaning kit that can clean both rifles and shotguns? when I check sites like Cabela's it's a bit overwhelming looking at the sheer selection of stuff. I don't even know where to start. i'd like something decent, not cheaply made.

I really like the Otis system and Bore Snakes. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...parentType=index&indexId=cat603833&hasJS=true

Another thumbs up for the Otis system. They have a kit for any budget.

I got rid of all my rods and brushes, I got tired of having miss matched threads on everything, and replaced them with one piece rods and brushes from kleen bore with no regrets.

Add another vote for Otis. Best cleaning kit the Air Force has ever issued me.

The Cabelas brand kits are pretty good too. Come with a couple different size rods and brushes that will clean anything from a .22 to a 12 gauge.

Here's the Kit

then you will need a rod or 2

Any "Kit" that has a jointed rod, the rod is usually junk. Like psyscobily said get the midway one then buy one piece cleaning rods.

The jointed ones break

I'd recommend getting a fairly long cleaning rod too - no less than 36". If you clean from the breech rather than the muzzle (which is better because you don''t risk damaging the crown) then you need the extra length - at least, I need it when cleaning my old Mosin Nagant and that doesn't have a particularly long barrel.

I love Tipton cleaning rods. I've also used Deweys but didn't like them at all. The coating came off after a couple of uses, and the handle just imo wasn't that great. The Tipton doesn't have a coating to wear off, and I love the handle on it. I'd get a Tipton rod then just a nice set of brushes and jags.

Another vote for the Otis system. I haven’t used any of my rods since I bought an Otis system. Check out their videos on the use of the Otis systems.
